EUROPA LEAGUE 2009: GENOVA 1 - VALENCIA CF 2 & VILLAREAL 0 - SALZBURG 1

VALENCIA CF managed to defeat Italian Club GENOVA 1-2 in a busy
& hard fought match. The Spaniards finish on top of their Europa
League Group table & go into the next phase.










The Italians at home were a tough nut, even though Valencia scored
first in the 46 th min via BRUNO, however veteran striker CRESPO
equalized for Genova in the 51st min.

From here it was end to end stuff until Valencia was awarded a penalty
which Villa failed to transform in the 85th min. Then at the end DAVID
VILLA
made up for the earlier error with the winner after a goal
keeping mistake by the Italians as they desperately attempted to
draw the game.



















In a game were VILLAREAL had little to play as their pass to the next
stage was set, the Spanish team put on a second - level team, & that
is how they played. They lost 0-1 to SALZBURG with a goal from
SVENTO in the 6th min. The Villareal substitutes did not take their
opportunity to prove their worth & only reinforced why they are
not part of the first squad. Disappointing!
